Pale Ale·United States·6% ABV·One of 628 Pale Ales in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share San Diego Pale Ale .394's hoppy and sweet character. A golden pale ale full of American hop flavor and aroma, with a subdued bitterness and a malty sweet finish. Tony Gwynn's team asked AleSmith for it in early 2014, and the baseball legend wanted a beer that is light with a kick. The name salutes his career-high .394 average in 1994, and part of the proceeds goes to the Tony and Alicia Gwynn Foundation. 6.0% ABV, 13 IBU.
